| Has anyone taken a look at what appears to be the best set for All-Stars? Underdark has 10 out of 44 figures by my count. From that # over 20% of the All-Star figures will come from one set ... Underdark. ~15% of the Underdark set of 60 figures will make it to the All-Stars.Â
The only uncommon figures voted All-Star are 2 from Underdark.
Underdark = 10
Blood War = 6
Archfiends, GoL, War Drums, Deathknell = 4
DragonEye, WotDQ = 3
Aberrations, AngelFire, Harbinger = 2
8 female figures too.
Just my observation.
Later,

| | I guess that's no real surprise. Underdark was a great set with a fair number of popular uniques and some nice iconic figures too! Elminster, Artemis Entreri, Balor, Marut, Iron Golem, Guen, Death Slaad and Aspect of Kord, just to name some off the top of my head. | |

| | Yes, both Underdark and Blood War were very strong sets. No surprise that they have the most All Stars. | |

| Thx for the stats.Â
No real surprise as Underdark was one great set of minis and Blood War was also a very strong set.Â
What surprises me is the following missing figures from Blood War not yet making the All Stars:
FGFP
Ice Devil
Shadowdancer
Gnome Trickster
Large Water Elemental (we'll have Fire from DoD, still need Air and Earth)
Given this and some other missing minis (namely no true Mind Flayer yet in the All Stars), I wonder what "group" votings are left.Â
I'm guessing they might still do votes for:
Giants, Ogres, and Trolls (FGFP, Firegiant, Frost Giant, Hill Giant Barbarian, Frost Giant Jarl, War Troll, ect...)
Elves (including Drow)
Humanoids (once more for Snig maybe?)

| I'm not surprised at all. Those two (underdark and Blood war) were really good sets.

| What is so special on Gnome Trickster's sculpt? I'd rather see Solar, Phoera or Hellcat.
Agreed on the two strong sets, they are very cool. | |

8 female figures too.
Just my observation.
Not sure of the validity of that stat. By implication the other 36 would be male, but;
Does 8 include the Maralith & other monsters, if so where do you draw the line. Most of the allstars are seriously non-human, Is it possible to guess if the Beholder is female.? Or the Duagar for that matter ?
I only count 5Â female Humanoids.
{Drow Cleric of Lolth, Champion of Elistrae,Frenzied Berserker,Storm Silverhand & Rikka}
And 10 Male humanoids.

Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |

| | The only real surprising thing there for me is that I figured it would be Blood War first and Underdark second. | |

Matt, Frost Giant Jarl came out in a set that's automatically getting converted and therefore wasn't part of the "all-stars". Only Bloodwar and back are eligble for it.... | |

Phew. One less giant to draw votes away from my favorite FGFP making it in.Â

Nothing special on the Gnome Traickster's sculpt, I was just grasping for Blood War figures off the top of my head. On the other hand, he is the only figure that can cast Mass Invisibility and that had a big impact on the meta / game. Of course there's no guarantee that the ability to cast Mass Invisiblity will be carried up into DDM 2.0.Â
I do agree that I would also like to see the Hellcat and Solar make the first round of All Stars.Â

| | better hellcat and Solar than the Extinct Gnome race characters. The Think to vote for Sculpts, because thats the only think we have to choose, forget SA or the Good performance, because it is the Past. | |
